Benlandia 73 Posted July 19, 2012 I was rolling along the coast today, handing out food/water/meds to new survivors. Doing my charity bit for the day before logging off.After meeting with a group of two, I ran away a bit to notice that they had taken EVERYTHING out of my backpack. This forced me to turn around and shoot both of them dead. If you give an inch, they take a yard.Which brings me to the question, why aren't you able to prevent anyone from accessing your backpack? Or just have a notification that pops up when someone DOES access your backpack. Unless these two were expert pickpockets, I highly doubt they could have emptied the content of my backpack into their pockets without me noticing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whattteva 32 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) You didn't know? They were both Thief class, so of course they've mastered the arts of thievery. Not to mention, the fact that your backpack sits on your back means they get a pickpocket bonus cause you can't see them as well as you would if you'd had a frontpack!

Tatakt 50 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Seems like a good idea to notify you if someone click ur pack, or simple make like and yes/no popup box wether you allow them to reach in your pack.. Edited July 19, 2012 by Tatakt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasmer 77 Posted July 19, 2012 o.o apparently they were if they did all that and i dont think the locking thing should be done... but the notification of someone entering ur bag i would love cause in real life even if someone tugs at the zipper i can feel it sooo why not have something say xxxxx has opened your bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Addicted (DayZ) 32 Posted July 19, 2012 This thread made me lol, because I saw NorthernLion (youtuber) do this to someone on his letsplay.From what I've seen, I think a little message pops up in your top left corner (a corner none of us ever pay attention to) that says 'Player X is accessing your backpack'Whether or not this is still in function I can't say.

Benlandia 73 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Yes I think the notification would be an excellent option. Its also tricky because you can access someone's backpack even if you are facing them, which is wierd. Edited July 19, 2012 by Benlandia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HooDoo (DayZ) 0 Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah, I would love a feature to at least warn when your bag is being opened. Not sure if it can be added to the Dayz mod or if that is something that the Arma 2 folks would have to do. Either way it would be a nice addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
